' Its true Candidate Hughes is work ing hard but it may also be true that it will be a case of "love's labors lost."

About the only thing the Zeppelins can prove to the English people is that it is safer at the front than at home, but that is hardly what they desire to prove?

' - President Wilson intends - to Vmake one or more speeches in N0w rjS5br during the : campaign . We hSvemd doubt that Mr. Wilson will even add more than several speeches in the Empire State to his talkfest. It seems to be dawning upon those run ning his campaign that he 'should be heard oftener; that it is necessary to get votes and votes are what willj count in November. No dignity of office, no great solemnity so surrounds DrinciDle as to keep the. man running ! for the office of President off the plat - form. No one would Want him to in dulge in oratorical acrobatics upon the stump, but if a' cause is a good one there is no harm in extolling it; if a cause must stand or fall by the votes of : the - people , there is 'nothing undignified in- the highest official in the United States talking to the peo ple. He is talking, for the cause, and if he is conscientious he wants to see the cause triumphant. -Any fair-means,- any "sane means that will allow it to be victorious are perfectly per missible." Like pride, inertia goeth before a fall. The country is supposed to be governed according to certain rules, known as policies. Therefore it is right to set these policies before, the people; it' is right to hold them up in manner that can best be seen, and there is no better way than for the one . who desires , to be the chief support, of such foundation to tell the people. about them. . At first thought it would seem that those able, shrewd me directing Mr. Wilson's campaign would be better judges of whether he should go on the stump, if one would be trite about it but are they? A little further con sideration will show that they are not necessarily the best judges. "As a rule they meet their most ardent, perhaps, polites, fawnfng henchmen, upon visit ing a locality; they hear reports from lieutenants who, saturated with the usual campaign bluff, forget they are not talking for publication, and con tinue to claim every precinct in exis tence for their man . So the chap who wanders, around among the masses is often in a better position to judge than are the big party leaders. We believe that such man would advise that Mr. Wilson make as many speeches in the I campaign as possible. -It is not :a case of the people not thinking, not desiring td" consider and have not hetter means today than even last year for obtaining information because they have all this but be cause it behooves the Democratic par ty to afford them the. widest oppor tunity, especially when the opposition, with a blare of trumpets, explosion of fireworks, crash of" bands and whoops incessant and vigorous on ev ery hand, are trying to muddy the wa ters. Even Christianity in these days has found it necessary to be militant . STRAW VOTES. Straw votes are good enough to cause talk and allow some folks to indulge in claims, while affording admirable material for yet others to bluff. So far as being an indicator of results weeks off it is a failure. If there is any . virtue in straw votes the New York Herald shows it in the balloting it has just made public prog nosticating that it will be close be tween Wilson and Hughes. (Discourse, something may be said ' or done be tween now and November that will change this apparent closeness into a landslide for one or the other nominee, or it may not. In the latter event there would be the usual "I told you so." But as it must be aGmltted there is nothing certain about the straw vote, there is also nothing Very likely about it. Straw votes, too, never fail to show the political wind blowing both ways, depending more or less upon the noise of partisans; ; so one side or the other is compelled to be right. As straw ballots represent such a small portion of the voters and as the aver age man does not care to so express himself, there is no virtue in the thing: One can make a betterr guess by judg ing sentiment and analyzing human nature. POOR. MR. TAFT. Ex-President Taft has written a magazine article denouncing the Wil son administration for not recognizing Hnerta. Tinlritncr that tlilc nothing to do with who ruled Mexico: Just there is where Mr. Taft's unfor- tunate, and, often times, pitiable past jumped up and slapped him in. the face, It is recalled that President Taft declined to recognize' Zelaya as presi dent of Nicaragua and even invoked force to see that he did not hold forth be assassinated. Interest seems to be on the Increase .. ' . ' in me P.om nhnw tn Vo V.oly w... this yearrwhmh-is a-finW Xof when a"enon is gripped by poliUcs: :HEZEPEUN;'PABT.(. The rolTof the Zeppelin, in wars so far has grown only .into that of trying JLQr. ti& gret f rightenert-but if develops according to reports it would become an important factor in solving the transportation problem for 'a country that is bottled up while at war. . In the latter, role it would, accomplish more than iijts present sphere. As a slayer of human life the Zeppelin seems to have gained in power, judging by the casualty lists, of the recent raids, but, oa the other hand, the enemy ap- ; Pears vto be better able to cope with the menace., -Two Zeppelins were brought down and another cripgled, though the latter escaped. Zeppelins cost large amounts of money and while one life,; per se, is more valu a)Ie; $han one hundred Zeppelins, yet in bearing upon the war, one hundred lives, especially when not of fighting men, may not be worth one Zeppelin. The only recompense there could be from such warfare would be that of m6ral effect. ?But will the moral ef fect overbalance the loss of material, to be desired at present, to- gfether with the loss of the lives of three or "four daring aviators U.nw .w an amponaui quebuuu.; ! . So 'far it has .not developed that the Zeppelins are of any, great force in the war. Fighting over Great Bri tain" cannot have result upon the war's end. On the battle front one German Taube, by reason of its rapidity, that it can be more easily handled,, can figh; hetter and perform quicker scout service, is worth a dozen Zeppelins, and costs very little.

This may be the case in the "jint" debate in the Sixth District-between Congressman Godwin and his Republican opponent, former tuBiuioBici iun,oanm, ui rttJcuc j ville. The report of The Dispatch's correspondent at Southport on the I ( joint debate there last night indicates ; lit. j McCaskill was found criticising God- w , x, , , win in no gentle way. while Godwin ! came back by declaring McCaskill a i fabricator and using the word "liar" McCaskill declared1 that the Demo cratic congress had' squandered mon ey , while Godwin retaliated by de claring a Republican treasurer of North Carolina had stolen State funds and landed in the penitentiary. As a starter of the joint discussion this is passable, but, no doubt, it will warm-up as it goes along, because if uAr.,Mii Jo ,w n no doubt Mr. Godwin will unsheath ! his sword on the dark days of '98 and i just before.

C. is a Good Place to Do Business Lowest Death Rate of Any Atlantic State For a long time a number of large life insurance companies have given North Carolina the "go by." They shared the common belief x that as a Southern State our death rate was high. No it appears that. they were mistaken. A recent interview between a prominet life insurance man and the Secretary of the State Board of Health brought out the following facts. Ac cording to this official North Car olina's death rate is not only the low est of any along the! Atlantic coast from Maine to Texas, but it compares favorably with other registration states In the Union, save those .West ern States whose population is' made up largely of yigorious, health immi grants which brings down their death rate materially.- No fair, basis of comparison, of course, can be furnish ed by considering North Carolina's urban-death rate w.th the-death rates of entire States . rural and urban, as might have been inferred from a casual reading of a recent Census report. Nor is that all. So far as can be learned . North Carolina has th biggest birth rate of any State' in , the Union . Although we have :flot. beenj: officially admitted v to the" registration area for births, we can boast a higher birttT rate than any of those j States" already included within thselect :iocletyi North Carolina lB'again at the head of the ta'ble. ,V I I V ' TXT V . ,1 TJAIN or shine, winter k -i-v or su mme r each ;.

NATIONAL" BISCUIT Diplomatic Victory Over Tur key Will Help the' Get ting of Supplies. Washington, D. C, Sept. 27. Almost simultaneously with President Wil son's proclamation to the people of the and 22 as days on which contributions for the relief of the persecuted and starving Armenians are to be received in churches and through local commit tees all over the country, a "fciplomatic victory over the Turkish government was won by the American charge d - af - faires in Constantinople. The charge d'affaires has cabled Secretary Lansing announcing that, after months of negotiation, the Porte nas, a,gred to a"ow American supplies and food to go through the Red Cross naa QnMQnD. n0,'rf to tne stricken inhabitants of Syria. The removal of this obstacle,' officjals here believe, indicates that Turktey is showing a disposition to cooperate with the United States in relieving the agony and' suffering caused among the Christian population 'by-the series of massacres and deportations which be gan in April, 1915, and which, at the j lowest calculation, has resulted in the J deaths fcy , starvation pestilence, and the sword, of more thaa three-quarters ;of a million people. i The text of the President snrocia- iub rB.w. : TYioriAti nrhtAh'haa uvcr noon i a cm on ior .ir " -, las follows: tloilf pa9sed July 7 (calendar day, July 10), 1916, reading. as follows: " 'Whereas. etc. ' "'Resolved, That, appreciating the sunenngs 01 me Syrian people, 11 is suggested that the President of the United-States set aside, a day upon which a direct appeal to the sympathy of all American citizens shall be made and an opportunity shall be given for our public-spirited people .to contril ute to a much-needed fund for the re lief of the Syrian people.' .
